I think the more I hear about it, the more I think this young Marine should just be allowed to walk away without punishment. I think that having embedds along when they go into combat is BS and if that reporter had any ethics at all, he should've released the video only to the Marine's command first. Now the libs will scream for this poor Marine's head, but I for one, will fight them on this issue. They don't know squat about combat, and therefore they are in no position to judge anyone. They want to find out about combat, send them into the fire zones first ahead of our armed troops. Then they will truly know fear.
In the heat of combat you ain't got time to waste on all the niceties of the "civilized" world. In the liberals eyes, in order for this Marine to be judged innocent, he would've had to have offered the insurgent a cigarette and be shot to pieces first before firing back.
Screw the liberals and their press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
